When an subject is controversial, one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the predjudices, the idiosyncracies of the speaker.

Dream

I had a very odd and vivid dream last night that is worth mentioning. I was home in Rochester visiting with all these people I had not seen in years, making them all very happy, when suddenly the world needed a new pope. One of my old friends was apparently very influential in helping the Vatican make this decision, and suddenly I was elected. I decided I wanted to stay in Rochester however, but I liked my new job. I started an international war on poverty, with a whole bunch of initiatives including sending militaries into poor countries. I distinctly remember sitting at home in my parents house watching cable TV news covering these initiatives. Then a major storm hit and I was sitting in my old bedroom (which now had 3 windows on the far wall instead of one) watching the storm out the windows. All of a sudden, the windows blew out and I had glass in my face. And that's when I woke up. Good stuff.
